The move to 100% electric is confirmed for the most affordable and popular model in the Dacia range. During the presentation of its commercial results, Denis le Vot, general director of the Renault group’s low-cost brand, confirmed that the Sandero will be offered in a “zero emissions” version from the end of 2027.
A variation of the basic R5?
No details have been given about the engine or battery that will equip this future electric Sandero. We can imagine that it would recover the architecture of the basic version of the R5 that will be offered this year, with a 40 kWh battery (300 km of autonomy) and a 95 horsepower motor, but that it does not offer fast charging (charging only in limited alternating current to 11 kW).
Therefore, you will have to be patient to know more. Meanwhile, at the end of 2025, Dacia will present a redesigned version of the third-generation Sandero, launched in 2020 and which has already received certain modifications due to the logo change in 2022.
Future hybrid versions to come
This updated Sandero is expected to be launched in early 2026 and will receive mainly cosmetic changes. Dacia does not confirm the arrival of new engines.
Logically we think about the hybrid, which boosted Renault sales this year, but it is not certain that it will be found in this Sandero “3.3”.
Currently, two models are offered in “full hybrid” versions, the Jogger and the Duster in “Hybrid 140” and will soon be joined by the new Bigster, which will introduce for the occasion a new engine within the Renault group with the “Hybrid 155”.
